ABSTRACT The notion of Mode 2, as a shift from Mode 1 science-as-we-know-it, depicts science as practically relevant, socially distributed and democratic. Debates remain over the empirical substantiation of Mode 2. In particular, our understanding has been impeded by the mutually exclusive framing of Mode 1/Mode 2. Looking at how academic science is justified to diverse institutional interests – a situation associated with Mode 2 – it is asked, “What happens to Mode 1 where Mode 2 is in demand?” This study comprises two sequential phases. It combines interviews with 18 university spinout founders as micro-level Mode 2 exemplars, and macro-level policy narratives from 72 expert witnesses examined by select committees. An interpretive scheme (Greenwood and Hinings, 1988) is applied to capture the internal means-ends structure of each mode, where the end is to satisfy demand constituents, both in academia (Mode 1) and beyond (Mode 2). Results indicate Mode 1’s enduring influence even where non-academic demands are concerned, thus refuting that means and ends necessarily operate together as a stable mode. The causal ambiguity inherent in scientific advances necessitates (i) Mode 1 peer review as the only quality control regime systematically applicable ex ante, and (ii) Mode 1 means of knowledge production as essential for the health and diversity of the science base.

  • Networked Surfaces: a Novel LAN Technology
    Networked Surfaces: A Novel LAN Technology James William Scott Churchill College, University of Cambridge September 25, 2002 This dissertation is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Abstract Networked Surfaces: A Novel LAN Technology James William Scott Networked Surfaces are a novel technology, which allows physical surfaces such as desks to be augmented in order to provide networking and other services to devices placed on top of them. The devices, which are required to be augmented with special hardware, may include notebook PCs, PDAs, peripherals, and other types of device habitually placed on surfaces. When such a device is placed on a Networked Surface, a handshaking protocol is used to establish a connection between it and the appropriate services. These services may in- clude low-speed and high-speed networking, the provision of power, and also the accurate estimation of the location of the device. The concept of Networked Surfaces raises many issues in networking, which are explored in this thesis in the context of the OSI networking model. At the physical layer, the hardware required to provide connectivity to services is complex, involving a distributed architecture and use of particular conductive pad layouts on the surface and object. The implementation of a fully functional prototype is described. At the link layer, methods for connection and disconnection detection are presented and evaluated. The high speed network used in the prototype is discussed, and includes a novel bus arbitration scheme appropriate to the Networked Surfaces environment. The characteristics of the high speed Networked Surfaces network interface include the possibility of frequent connection and disconnection.
